Speak Up 2007: Online surveys now open!

Have a voice + learn about your own stakeholders

Speak Up is a national online research project to collect and report on views of K-12 students, teachers, parents and school leaders on 21^st century education.

All US and Canadian schools and districts are invited to participate. Participating schools and districts get free online access to your own quantitative data – from all surveys with national benchmark data – in January 2008. Use your Speak Up data to improve programs, teacher training and purchasing decisions, and student outcomes. We share national Speak Up data with state and federal policymakers to inform programs and funding for education.
